It cared about our world and everything in it. And it know there are
only two roads to wisdom: making mistakes that harm yourself or others,
or listen carefully deep inside to others. But very few were really
listening. All they did was thinking "yes, that is how I see it too" and
they ignored the parts that did not fit them.

Maybe that does not really invalidate the statistical results of the
more scientific research ... - but of course if many think the same ... ;-)

That is fair though I personally want it the other way round. Those who
can cope should cope (if I may stretch your words a bit).

I am not sure. Maybe because I was upset. Or maybe because I expect and
hope things to evolve ;-)
